聚铜络合物[Cu(L)μ-1,3-N3]n(ClO4)n的密度泛函计算及磁性研究

基于广义梯度近似密度泛函和全势能线性缀加平面波方法,本文对聚铜络合物[Cu(L)μ-1,3-N3]n(ClO4)n(其中L=tridentate Schiff base为三齿席夫基)的态密度和磁矩进行了计算.磁矩计算结果表明:①该聚铜络合物晶体格子的总磁矩为1.00 μB;②中心铜原子(离子)具有最大的原子磁矩,为0.531 μB;③铜原子和它周围最邻近的氮原子的原子磁矩是该聚铜络合物晶体格子总磁矩的主要来源.通过对中心铜原子及其最邻近氮原子的自旋态密度图进行分析,得出了铜原子和它周围最邻近氮原子的磁性主要分别来源于它们的d轨道和p轨道,同时还发现了中心铜离子的d轨道与叠氮末端氮原子的p轨道之间存在杂化现象, 以及中心铜离子向叠氮末端氮原子的自旋退局域化现象.自旋退局域化效应通过叠氮这一旁道使相邻两中心铜离子发生铁磁性相互作用.     

化合物SmCo5的电子结构、自旋和轨道磁矩及其交换作用分析

用自旋极化的MS-Xα方法研究了稀土-过渡族化合物SmCo5的电子态密度、自旋能级劈裂及原子磁矩.研究结果显示,由于化合物中Sm-Co间的轨道杂化效应,使Sm原子原来的5d0空轨道上占据了少量5d电子.由于Co(3d)-Sm(5d)电子间的直接交换作用,导致了Sm-Co间的磁性交换耦合,这是化合物中形成Sm-Co铁磁性长程序的一个重要原因.在SmCo5化合物中存在6个能级呈现负交换耦合,导致了SmCo5化合物的居里温度(与金属钴相比)明显下降.还研究了化合物中2c和3g晶位Co的自旋磁矩和轨道磁矩,发现Co(2c)晶位的自旋磁矩、轨道磁矩及冻结部分均略大于Co(3g)晶位,所以2c晶位的L-S耦合强度应略大于3g晶位.因此,2c晶位对SmCo5磁晶各向异性的影响也应大于3g晶位.但Co(2c)未被冻结的轨道磁矩却略小于Co(3g),所以两种晶位对磁晶各向异性的贡献大小之差别不应太大.考虑到4f电子的局域性和化合物中轨道杂化效应所导致的Sm(5d0)空轨道上占据了少量5d电子,可以得到Sm原子磁矩为1.29μB,与顺磁盐中Sm3+磁矩实验值(1.32-1.63uB)及金属中Sm原子磁矩实验值(1.74μB)基本符合.

Mn掺杂ZnS(110)表面的电子结构和磁性

采用基于密度泛函理论的第-性原理方法,研究Mn掺杂ZnS(110)表面的电子结构和磁性.计算分析不同掺杂组态的几何参数、形成能、磁矩、电子态密度以及电荷密度.结果表明:单个Mn原子掺杂,替位于表面第二层的Zn原子时体系形成能最低,说明该层是最稳定的掺杂位置.对于两个Mn原子的掺杂,当Mn与Mn之间呈反铁磁耦合时体系最稳定.体系的总磁矩和自由Mn原子的磁矩差别很小,但是Mn原子的局域磁矩却依赖于Mn原子的3d态和近邻S原子的3p态的杂化作用,即受周围S原子环境的变化影响较大.此外,分析电荷密度图得出Mn原子替换Zn原子后与S原子形成了更强的共价键.     

原子簇La8-xBaxCuO6的原子磁矩和自旋极化的电子结构研究

利用MS-Xα方法研究了化合物La2-yBayCuO4的原子磁矩和自旋极化的电子结构.理论计算得到母相氧化物La2CuO4的Cu原子磁矩为0.37μB,与实验值0.48±0.15μB基本一致. 研究结果显示, 由于Ba原子对部分La的替代,使构成化合物的基本原子簇La8-xBaxCuO6的点群对称性降低,分子轨道简并度解除,轨道杂化效应增强,减弱了氧化物的(准)二维特性,导致Cu-O层与其近邻原子层的耦合增强,因此影响了原子层间的电荷迁移方向,对Cu-O层中载流子的性质有重要影响. 由于Ba掺杂在化合物中产生的空穴,不仅进入O格点,也同时进入Cu格点,对Cu-O层上Cu和O原子价态、磁矩以及电子态密度分布有重要影响. 研究结果认为,由于掺杂产生的空穴对化合物超导电性的影响具有两面性:初期掺杂有利于产生超导电性;当掺杂较多时抑制超导电性. 这是导致La214体系的超导转变温度Tc随掺杂量y的变化(即Tc-y拱形曲线)的一个重要原因.     

3d过渡金属Co掺杂核壳结构硅纳米线的第一性原理研究

基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算,研究了横截面为五边形和六边形的核壳结构硅纳米线的过渡金属Co原子替代掺杂.通过比较形成能发现,核心位置掺杂、壳层单链掺杂以及外壳层全替代掺杂的硅纳米线都具有稳定性,其中核心位置掺杂结构的稳定性最高.掺杂体系均呈现金属性,随着掺杂浓度的增加,电导通道数增加.Co原子掺杂的硅纳米线呈现铁磁性,具有磁矩.Bader电荷分析表明,电荷从Si原子转移至过渡金属Co原子.与自由态时过渡金属Co原子的磁矩相比,体系中Co原子的磁矩有所降低,这主要是由Co原子4s轨道向3d/4p轨道的电荷转移以及4s,3d,4p的上自旋电子转移至下自旋导致的.

Theoretical study of magnetism and electronic structure of Fe3/Crn(1 1 0) superlattices

The electronic structure and magnetism of Fe₃/Cr_n(1 1 0) (n=1, 3, 5) superlattices (SL) with varying layer thickness have been studied using the full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave (FLAPW) method within the first-principle formalism. The results show that the ferromagnetic state is the preferable phase in the ground state. The magnetic moments of the Fe layers are slightly modified by the presence of the Cr layers. The Cr magnetic moments alternate direction from layer to layer, and an antiferromagnetic coupling between Fe and Cr at the interfacial layer is seen. The magnetic moments of the Cr layers are suppressed because there is a strong hybridization between d-states of both Fe and Cr atoms. Only a small moment is found in the Cr layer. The Cr moment alignment is determined by a delicate balance between the different magnetic interaction.     

Vector magnetization of a Cr monolayer on an Fe(110) film

The non-collinear magnetic moment distribution at the Cr/Fe(110) interface of an Fe(110) thin film covered by a Cr monolayer is revealed by means of periodic Anderson model calculations. It is shown that the Cr surface has two magnetically non-equivalent sites with magnetic moments canted to each other. The Fe atoms in the subsurface monolayer also acquire two magnetically non-equivalent sites with magnetic moments canted to each other. Non-collinearity is shown to be a ground state for the Cr/Fe(110) multilayer.     

TM掺杂的Ⅲ-Ⅴ族稀磁半导体电磁性质的第一原理计算

使用基于自旋局域密度泛函理论的第一性原理方法对3d过渡金属(TM=V，Cr，Mn，Fe，Co和Ni)掺杂的Ⅲ-Ⅴ族半导体(GaAs和GaP)的电磁性质进行了计算.结果发现：用V，Cr和Mn掺杂时体系将出现铁磁状态，而Fe掺杂时将出现反铁磁状态，Co和Ni掺杂时，其磁性则不稳定.其中，Cr掺杂的GaAs和GaP将可能是具有较高居里温度的稀磁半导体(DMS).在这些DMS系统中，V离子的磁矩大于理论期待值，Fe，Co和Ni离子的磁矩小于理论期待值，Cr和Mn离子的磁矩与期待值的差距取决于晶体的对称性以及磁性离子的能带分布.此外，使用Si和Mn共同对Ⅲ-Ⅴ族半导体进行掺杂，将有利于DMS表现为铁磁状态，并可以使体系的T_C进一步提高. 关键词： 稀磁半导体 过渡金属 掺杂 共掺杂     

Surface dependence of the magnetic configurations of the ordered B2 FeCr alloy

Tight-binding linear muffin tin orbitals calculations with generalized gradient approximation were carried out for the magnetic configurations at the surface of the ferromagnetic ordered B2 FeCr alloys. For both (001) and (111) crystallographic phases, non ferromagnetic configurations are shown to be more stable than the ferromagnetic configuration of the bulk alloy. For (001) surface we display a c ground state for either Cr or Fe at the surface. For Cr top layer the magnetic moments are larger than in the bulk B2 FeCr while they are slightly enhanced for Fe top layer. For (111) surface an antiferromagnetic coupling between surface and subsurface is always obtained i.e. for either Fe or Cr at the surface. This change of coupling between Fe and Cr (from ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic) is expected to be fundamental to any explanation of the experimental results obtained for the interface alloying at the Fe/Cr interfaces.

Electronic structure and magnetism of Cr/Sn multilayer systems

The electronic structure and magnetism of Cr/Sn and Fe/Cr/Sn/Cr multilayer systems with monolayer Sn are studied by means of a first-principles method. The calculated hyperfine field at Sn site is significantly large (∼20 T) in Cr/Sn multilayers, while the value is remarkably diminished (∼4 T) in the case of Fe/Cr/Sn/Cr multilayers. This trend of the hyperfine field is consistent with recently reported experimental results. It is found that the hyperfine field at Sn site is determined by the spin magnetic moment at the interface Cr site. The most important feature in the electronic structure of the multilayer systems is the existence of an interface state at the Cr interface layer near the Fermi energy region.     

Electronic structure and magnetism of metastable bcc Co(001)

The electronic structure and magnetism of thin films of metastable bcc phase Co(001) consisting of one-, five- and nine-layers is determined by means of all-electron local spin density full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) calculations at the lattice constant found for bcc Co stabilized on a GaAs substrate by Prinz. Band structure, surface states, density of states, charge and spin densities and contact hyperfine fields are presented. The center layer of the many-layer films yields a spin magnetic moment of 1.76μ_B which agrees well with results of bulk calculations for bcc Co. The surface layer has a moment (1.94μ_B) which is only 10% greater than the bulk value - in sharp contrast to the enhancement found for other transition metal surfaces [35% for Fe(001), 20% for Ni(001) and over 300% for Cr(001)]. Unlike these other transition metal surfaces, even the first layer below the surface layer in Co has the bulk magnetic moment - which indicates that the spin density, like the charge density, shows very short range screening of the surface-vacuum interface.     

Observing spin polarization of individual magnetic adatoms

We have used spin-polarized scanning tunneling spectroscopy to observe the spin polarization state of individual Fe and Cr atoms adsorbed onto Co nanoislands. These magnetic adatoms exhibit stationary out-of-plane spin polarization, but have opposite sign of the exchange coupling between electron states of the adatom and the Co island surface state: Fe adatoms exhibit parallel spin polarization to the Co surface state while Cr adatoms exhibit antiparallel spin polarization. First-principles calculations predict ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic alignment of the spin moment for individual Fe and Cr adatoms on a Co film, respectively, implying negative spin polarization for Fe and Cr adatoms over the energy range of the Co surface state.     

Electronic structure and magnetic properties of Cr monodoped and (Cr, Al) codoped ZnO

Using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory, we investigated systematically the electronic structures and magnetic properties of Cr monodoped and (Cr, Al) codoped in ZnO. The results indicate that Cr monodoped in ZnO favors a spin-polarized state with a total magnetic moment of 7.50μ_B per supercell and the magnetic moment mainly comes from the unpaired 3d electrons of Cr atoms. In addition, it was found that the ferromagnetic exchange interaction between Cr atoms is short-ranged in Cr monodoped ZnO. Interestingly, the ferromagnetic stability can be enhanced significantly by codoping Al_Zn. We think that the enhancement of ferromagnetic stability should be attributed to the additional electrons introduced by Al_Zn codoping.     

Itinerant Magnets on a Triangular Cu(111) Lattice

We investigate complex spin structures of frustrated two-dimensional Cr, Mn, and Fe monolayer magnets on a triangular lattice provided by the Cu(111) substrate. First we establish a zero-temperature phase diagram of possible spin structures on the basis of the classical Heisenberg model up to the third-nearest neighbor exchange interaction. Second we carried out first-principles total energy calculations on the basis of the vector-spin density formulation of the density functional theory using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method in film geometry for a set of complex non-collinear spin structures. We found, the ground state of Fe is ferromagnetic, Cr exhibits a coplanar, two-dimensional non-collinear 120 Néel state and Mn a three-dimensional non-collinear ground state, the 3Q-state. Incommensurate spin-spiral states are expected for a FeMn alloy on Cu(111). We employ the constrained local moment method to estimate the exchange parameters of the model Hamiltonians. We show that for Mn higher-order spin interactions are the origin of the 3Q-state for Mn. The combination of ab initio calculations and model Hamiltonians provides a powerful tool to investigate the magnetic structures of complex magnetic systems.
